I got to fondle one of these this past weekend. Fit and feel wise it was my favorite of the knives I held and it will probably be the next Fiddleback I buy depending on what blade thickness and handle choices become available.

I want to Second this notion! The Bush Hermit is a special knife. I got to handle Justen's 1/8 TT versions and was blown away at how nice they feel in hand. I wouldn't mind owning one of these myself, though I do have a couple others on my list before it.

I had the good fortune last week to get my favorite Bush Hermit in black micarta with Koa bolsters thanks to dsarps. I sent him a PM last November to congratulate him on an epic score when he sharked this knife. Of course I included a message to let him know that I would love to buy or trade for it if he ever decided to let it go. Sometimes those PMs work out if you are patient enough...

This is my favorite Fiddleback handle combo. Micarta for a working knife with fancy Curly Koa bolsters for show. I would love to have a 3/32” Bushcrafter with a thicker handle in this combo. That is the only Fiddleback on my wish list. I am hoping and waiting...@Fiddleback@VANCE@allen456

I agree with many of the posts above that the Bush Hermit is the best design Andy has made in the last few years. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an all-around 4” blade with a fantastic handle shape.

Phil a stunning beauty! By all means please put me on that list in the #6 spot

Does anyone have a couple of comparison photos to the Bushfinger? Besides the guard and what appears to be a slightly taller blade/handle on the BH, I am wondering what other differences or similarities there are to the Bushfinger.

Here's a modified picture putting the two next to one another. The original can be found in this thread where I wrote about the Bushcraft Tasker.
